Probably more but two for now.
Looking at that photo of me in my yellow bathing costume reminds me that I thought was fat in those days. No social media then so why? A family member I think.
On my way back to the car after the paddle out (which makes it sound as if I took part, which of course I didn't) I spotted Alun Wyn Jones, former captain of the Wales rugby team.
He must have seen the glint of recognition in my eyes as he quickly put his hat back on and hurried in the other direction. Every time I've seen him he's scowled at me. Okay, maybe not at me but in my general direction. I don't know what he thinks I'm going to do. Maybe throw my arms around his neck and cover him in kisses? Or tell him everything he did wrong as captain? (Nothing.)
That's all for now.

And another thing.
Some time earlier in the year I heard bits of a radio dramatisation of a Falco novel by Lindsey Davis. Falco is a private investigator in ancient Rome. The bits I heard made me want to read the book, which I did, at least the first in the series.
There is another dramatisation on the radio now but . . . the voice is completely wrong. Having read the book and now knowing the character, it's just wrong. It's so wrong I can't listen to it. Which is a shame.

I don't know what you looked like in the yellow bathing costume, but I'm sure you were lovely. It's so easy for someone to give us a false view of ourselves when we're young. My mother had me convinced I was overweight. I realize now I was very small. Prince Charles telling Diana she was pudgy helped lead to her eating disorder.
Love,

The voice in an audio book is so important. Some I just cannot listen to, no matter how good the book.
I always thought I was fat back when I was a teen. I think it goes with the territory.
